This is not an ordinary history book. As readers will realise quite early on, Neagu Djuvara has the audacity to tackle some of the most delicate and controversial issues in Romanian history under the guise of light storytelling.

Romanii, maghiarii, sasii si secuii au reusit sa creeze aici o lume inconfundabila, care si-a pastrat in mare parte caracterul arhaic.Orasele transilvanene sunt diferite de tot ceea ce veti vedea in alte parti ale tarii: burgurilor medievale li s-a imprimat o linie baroca dupa ce Transilvania a intrat sub administratie habsburgica.

Orasul de pe malul Cibinului s-a dezvoltat pe locul anticei asezari daco-romane Cedonia. Intemeierea sa este legata de colonizarea sasilor in Transilvania, in secolul al XII-lea. A fost atestat documentar pentru prima data in 1191 (Cibinium), fiind numit ulterior Hermannstadt.

The authors trace the emergence of Ataturk and Reza Shah through the constitutional revolutions in Iran and the Ottoman Empire, which led to the introduction of European social models, the establishment of dictatorship and of secularist reforms. This produced in both Turkey and Iran highly authoritarian, nationalist, and quasi-westernised states, where the personality cult of the leader defined the politics of each country.

This revised edition builds upon and updates its twin themes of Turkey's continuing incorporation into the capitalist world and the modernization of state and society. It begins with the forging of closer links with Europe after the French Revolution, and the changing face of the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century. Zurcher argues that Turkey's history between 1908 and 1950 should be seen as a unity, and offers a strongly revisionist interpretation of Turkey's founding father, Kemal Ataturk. In…
